Popular luxury hotel in Lagos, Four Point by Sheraton Hotel, Oniru in Victoria Island has been in pandemonium as a gas cylinder within the hotel’s vicinity exploded.

Further investigations revealed that the gas cylinder used by welders working in the yard of the hotel’s premises exploded due to leakage in one of its hoses.

A total of three people sustained severe injuries as a result of the blast and two have been rushed to the Lagos Island General Hospital for intensive care by the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Ambulance Unit, while one was rushed to a nearby private hospital.

Several cars and hotel room windows were shattered as a result of flying objects due to the heavy blast.

I love to read, write and TRAVEL!!! The media space is my canvas to paint the truths of our brands and the stories of our Nigerian culture. I love a good book any day because with them I can travel to spaces that are perfect in their frame.
